#928 - Arian Foster

Joe Rogan (0:07)

We're live? Yeah. What's up, man?

Arian Foster (0:10)

Like why?

Joe Rogan (0:11)

I have never seen a single silly statement, like I could kill a wolf one-on-one. Get so much fucking hype.

Arian Foster (0:20)

That's the weirdest.

Joe Rogan (0:21)

So many people are so excited about this.

Arian Foster (0:23)

That's the weirdest thing I've ever seen, man. I can't call it, it was just, I tweet random shit all the time, and that just, for some reason, that everybody had an opinion on it.

Joe Rogan (0:32)

That's a weird one, man.

Arian Foster (0:33)

It's funny, though.

Joe Rogan (0:34)

I've seen a lot of people tweet really ridiculous shit, but I don't think I've ever seen anything get this much speculation, discussion, debate. People are mad at you.

Arian Foster (0:43)

Yeah, people pissed off, like, fuck you, you can't be the wolf. I'm like, Jesus Christ, bro. You got wolf cousins, man?

What's the deal?

Joe Rogan (0:52)

Yeah, it is a weird thing, man. It's a weird thing. The social media today, you know what I think it is? I think you said it at a time where people were looking for some shit to argue about. That has nothing to do with Trump. It has nothing to do with climate change. It's like, oh, we got something here.

Arian Foster (1:12)

I'm glad I could be that source of distraction, entertainment.

Joe Rogan (1:16)

Yeah, it does seem like that though, doesn't it? I think it's peaks and waves, because if you did this, the day 9-11 happened, nobody would give a shit.

Arian Foster (1:26)

It probably, you don't respect it. It'd probably be like that.

Joe Rogan (1:30)

Exactly, but I can't believe you're doing this on that day. Some people, if you did it today, they'd be like, I can't believe you say that on National Woman's Day, bro.

Arian Foster (1:36)

Yeah, for real.

Joe Rogan (1:37)

It's National Woman's Day? You wanna talk about fighting wolves? This is what's wrong with men.

Arian Foster (1:41)

People are like.

Joe Rogan (1:42)

This is what's wrong with the patriarchy.

Arian Foster (1:45)

I can't call it, man.

It was interesting, though. My mom would call it me and stuff. It's hilarious, man. People I ain't talked to for years, like, bro, you can't be the wolf. I don't know, man. I don't know.

Joe Rogan (1:58)

So do you always just tweet random shit?

Arian Foster (2:00)

Yeah, man, just randomly, just whatever's on my mind. I'm pretty active on there.

Joe Rogan (2:04)

Well, that's what Twitter's supposed to be about, right?

Arian Foster (2:07)

It's a great platform, man. It's better.

It's one of the, I think it's the best social media platform.

Joe Rogan (2:11)

Yeah. Well, it keeps people from rambling.

Arian Foster (2:14)

Well, it is. It's an extended ramble.

Joe Rogan (2:17)

Yeah, well, you can. You can go on those little one, two, three, fours where people like continue them. But what I'm saying is like, if you read people's Facebook, people get so verbose on Facebook.

Arian Foster (2:27)

I couldn't do Facebook. I can't do it.

Joe Rogan (2:30)

Wrong.

Arian Foster (2:30)

I haven't been on Facebook for a while, and the reason why I decided to get off was my grandma requested me. She was like, you know, so Lucy Mays, shout out to Lucy.

She's like, Lucy Mays requested your friend. I was like, I can't be on Facebook.

Joe Rogan (2:47)

Your grandma's not on Twitter?

Arian Foster (2:49)

She's not on Twitter.

Joe Rogan (2:50)

No. Some people that like, they're not in the public eye, they don't know what to do with Twitter.

They're like, what do I do with this?

Arian Foster (2:55)

Exactly. One of my boys just got on. Matter of fact, he just got a smartphone, actually.

Joe Rogan (2:59)

Just got a smartphone.

Arian Foster (3:00)

He's been out the loop, man, and so he gets on Twitter, and he's like, so what do I do?

Say, well, what do I say? I'm like, whatever you want to say, man. And it's like, it's hard, I guess it'd be hard to gain a following from scratch, like, unless you know a lot of people, or you have a platform, so.

Joe Rogan (3:16)

Well, you gotta say something fucked up, and then someone's gotta retweet that, and then people start following you. I've seen people do that.

Arian Foster (3:21)

Yeah, I think that's where trolling started.

Joe Rogan (3:24)

Oh yeah, for sure.

Arian Foster (3:25)

Gaining an audience, and just trying to piss people off.

Joe Rogan (3:28)

Trolling is very weird. It's like, I wonder how many, I wonder who has like the most fake accounts.
